Foster Exhibition ‘Illuminating’

Megan Foster (Associate Professor, Printmaking) is currently featured in a solo exhibition at the Black & White Gallery (56 Bogart St, Brooklyn, NY) entitled Illuminating. Foster’s work offers an insightful narrative of the everyday experience through a mix of art, architecture, design and so-called science. Inspired by her middle-class, suburban upbringing, Foster has been making paintings and silkscreens using appropriated images, film stills and magazine clippings as a starting point to depict banal scenes that have the potential to be spectacular and fantastic. “My paintings have a cut stencil feel,” she says. “I take a conceptual approach and play with light, creating an illusion using something super flat.”
